Reviews of the I Not Stupid

Honestly, as a student in Malaysia, this movie is one of the best to come out in South-East Asia targeted for the family audience. As someone who's spent a good chunk of his life in Singapore, and subjected to similar pressures in Malaysian schools, I can greatly identify with much in the film. The shame of being considered "stupid" is one I know and understand, and yet there is also much to keep parents preoccupied with, especially those living on both sides of the Causeway, such as the idea of Caucasian superiority, the behaviour of the Singaporean government, etc.

It has been argued that much of Terry's narration is unnecessary, especially his explanation of the Mrs. Khoo - Singaporean government analogy. However, I think this is an artistic thing done to reflect Terry's simple-mindedness, as well as for the benefit of International audiences.

If you live in South-East Asia, give this movie a go. You most likely won't regret it.
